PearsonLloyd is a London based design studio founded by Tom Lloyd and Luke Pearson in 1997. The relationship between people, product and place lies at the heart of the studio’s practice. Current commissions include research and development across a wide variety of disciplines including furniture and product design in workplace, transport, healthcare and urban environments. These projects seek to identify and reflect the shifting patterns of behaviour in our contemporary life. The studio supports a collaborative approach in its work that embraces the restrictions imposed by product type, function, material, process, market, client and all else that defines a brief. In 2008, Tom and Luke were awarded the distinction of Royal Designers for Industry by The Royal Society of Arts, and in August 2012 were named in the top 50 designers ‘Shaping the Future’ by Fast-Co Magazine in New York.
